RE: Active but Unusable RMC Connections

If you are using the CLI you can still do a move. If you are using the GUI,
it is really doing a remove/add as opposed to a move.

That can really mess up device naming etc.

Jim,

<Based on you "moving" the tape devices I'm guessing an earlier version of
HMC.

Just curious as to what you were referring to here.

I've always moved tape devices (actually the FC card for the tape library).
I continue to do this.
I'm now on a 7063 CR1, Version 9.1 SP 921.

Partition, Physical I/O Adapters, Select the FC card, action remove.

Paul

First off, What level of HMC? Fix pack, SP?

What level of FSP code?

Based on you "moving" the tape devices I'm guessing an earlier version of
HMC.

Lastly, no AS/400 in history has ever had an HMC attached to it. POWER 5,
6, 7, 8 and 9 have HMCs. So in your case which is it?

Does anyone have any tips on troubleshooting RMC connections. On the
HMC diagrmc shows a warning for each LPAR saying each has an active
but unusable RMC connection.

A diagrmc -m Machine Name -p LPAR Name --ip IP Address --autocorrect for
each LPAR reports that the IP address is out of sync with LparCmdRM. When I
first tried it it appeared to be using domain names instead of IP addresses,
then switched to IP addresses. It says a resync has been issued and to wait
a couple of minutes and run diagrmc again. After waiting a couple of
minutes, not to mention waiting a few minutes or more, and running diagrmc
again yields the same results.

A lspartition -dlpar shows for each LPAR:

Active:<1>, OS:<, , >, DCaps:<0x0>, CmdCaps:<0x0, 0x0>, PinnedMem:<0>

The LPARs are i hosting i LPARs, one host, three guests.
